Good idea. I've created a new database where you can add your
information. Please don't feel that if somebody has claimed a site
that you can't do it as well. Many of these sites are quite large
and can definitely benefit from more than one point of view.

UNESCO World Heritage List:

There are many very interesting sites on the official UNESCO list and
*many* sites that are just as deserving that aren't on the list.
As for using tripods or having permission, I think it might be a good
idea to plan ahead. I've taken panoramas of many of the ones on the
list in the US (and a couple in Canada) and I can say that it wasn't
a problem. It just depends on where you are planning on going. I
don't think it's too hard to get some decent shots of the Grand
Canyon (Arizona) using a tripod and taking your time, but a nice
panorama inside Mammoth Caves (Kentucky) will take some forethought
and the proper permissions.
All in all, I think this will be another great opportunity to promote
our community and put together an awesome collective project.
